US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made Japan his first overseas destination, while Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is set to visit the White House in April. We discuss what these visits signal for US-Japan ties moving forward with foreign policy expert Jonathan Berkshire Miller. We also get an update on the state of play of the Japanese vaccine roll-out, and as well as the outlook for the Tokyo Olympics in July.
